Comprehension Quickies: Build Fluency & Comprehension with Super-Short Nonfiction!

Perfect for students who struggle with longer passages, Comprehension Quickies uses engaging nonfiction “quick reads” (just 65–100 words) to make reading practice feel doable—and successful. With controlled vocabulary, simple sentence structure, double-spaced text, and a large, easy-to-read font, these leveled stories help students strengthen fluency and comprehension without overwhelm.

Key Features to Support Learning

• Super-Short Nonfiction Stories (65–100 words): Ideal for reluctant readers and students who fatigue quickly
• Controlled Vocabulary & Simple Sentences: Supports decoding, accuracy, and confidence
• Large Font + Double-Spaced Text: Increases readability and encourages smoother fluency
• Leveled Organization with Shape-Coded Tabs: Each tab divider uses a different shape to represent reading levels, making differentiation easy and discreet
• High-Interest Topics: Motivating nonfiction themes—from crickets to space to skateboards—keep students engaged

Comprehensive and Ready-to-Use

This 174-page binder includes everything you need for effective instruction and differentiation, including all resource downloads with the full contents. You’ll also find reading levels for every story and a list of the Common Core State Standards this program meets.

Why This Resource Stands Out

• Quick Wins for Struggling Readers: Short passages make practice manageable and motivating
• Built-In Differentiation: Shape-coded tabs help you match text level to student needs
